The Andrew Marr Show is an hour-long British television programme broadcast on BBC One on Sunday mornings from 9am. It is presented by Andrew Marr, previously the BBC's Political Editor. The host interviews political figures and others involved in the current events of the week. It replaced the long-running Breakfast with Frost programme when David Frost decided to retire in 2005. The programme begins with a review of the Sunday papers, for which Marr is joined by two or three different guests each week. It also features BBC News and BBC Weather updates. The programme shares a studio with Sunday Politics, Newsnight and HARDtalk, BBC World News, GMT, Impact, Global and Focus On Africa.
Originally launched on 11 September 2005 as Sunday AM, the show was renamed The Andrew Marr Show for the new series in September 2007.
Editor Barney Jones's last show was on 18 January 2015. The editor is Rob Burley; with producers Libby Jukes, Brian Hollywood, Hannah Copeland and Lesley Boden. The title sequence is a pastiche of the television series The Prisoner. The programme moved to New Broadcasting House in September 2012.
The Andrew Marr Show usually features one Cabinet-level UK minister, a representative from the Opposition, one big-name, non-political guest and two or three celebrities or journalists to review the Sunday papers. A guest live music act closes the programme.
Since 2009, notable guests have included: Tom Jones, Dmitry Medvedev (President of Russia), Sting, Morgan Tsvangirai (Prime Minister of Zimbabwe), Jay-Z, Tony Hayward (The then CEO of BP), Bob Geldof, Anthony Hopkins, Nicole Kidman, Russell Crowe, Ban Ki-moon (UN Secretary-General), Michael Caine, Kevin Rudd (The then Prime Minister of Australia) and David Cameron (Prime Minister of the United Kingdom).
